    US Citizenship Testing

    In another thread there's a link to a test that's similar to the one the US uses for potential new citizens. It sounds like that test and the actual test are pretty easy overall, but it raises some other questions for me, like these: If you immigrated to the US, what are some things that you...

    Catalytic Converters

    Some thread in some other forum here got me thinking: 1) Why don't we have catalytic converters on bikes in general? What's the history behind (what I assume is) that lack of legislation? Were there practical reasons that still exist? 2) Is it possible to do an aftermarket install -- with an...

    WTB Production Audio Gear

    I'm looking for some decent production audio gear such as a Sennheiser MKH 416 and a carbon fiber boom pole, etc. As much as anything I'm throwing the feelers out to see what toys people might have that they would consider parting with. Thanks. -- the bug

    Sometimes I Hate ...

    Sometimes I hate it when BARF logs me out. I just typed out a page or two of helpful reply to a newb and BARF lost it when I went to post it. The site timed me out for my most recent login. This has always been very very frustrating. On top of that the newb loses out 'cause now I'm pissed...

    This Is Not Your Mother's Derbi.

    But it is yours? It's been sitting on the Ocean Ave. for a while... long enough to get two or three parking tickets. So, it's either going to get towed or it's going to get stolen, possibly for the second time.

    Who Ham? You Ham?

    Who's a ham around here? After the Napa earthquake I decided it was high time I got my amateur radio license and get my self connected to the SF NERT organisation: if something bad happens in a big way in SF, I want to be able to help make things better. So... last weekend I went up to...

    Hats Off to Moto LEO's

    Heya! Just want to say to anyone that's a Moto LEO that I'm always impressed with the LEO's on the DRZ's in SF. I was reminded of this at the Giants game on Sunday. I went down to get a free three innings in the Arcade and noticed the skill needed to roll through tight crowds of people at...

    Duct Tape, How Do It ... ?

    It's Beautiful Out There

    From my window it looks beautiful out there. Lots of us will leave work soon and take the long way home *just because we can*. I think some of us are going on this rally through more beautiful parts of the state. Some of us will pull the bike out of the garage for the first time this year...

    Calling 911

    A few days ago I passed by two cars which looked like they'd crashed into each other. I thought I'd be nice and called 911 since it looked like there were fluids leaking from the vehicle and it didn't look like either one was going to be moving very soon and it was rush hour. After I gave the...

    How Much Does It Hurt?

    Which bodily injuries have hurt you the most and took the longest to recover from? Broken arm, leg, rib? Dislocated shoulder? Tooth? Something else? I got mugged about a year ago and got my shoulder dislocated. (And yes, it was in Oaklamd.) I'm nearly healed and should be able to ride...
